Outstanding: the attack of the Royal Society

Surely Pamplona's victory did not leave Imanol Alguacil fully satisfied. His team was about to miss a 0-3 before the momentum of Chimy Avila and company. But, especially in the first half, the txuri-urdin team again starred in an offensive exhibition. It is appreciated a brave proposal since the beginning of the season with Odegaard as the main reference, perhaps the best player in the League so far. But there is much more: the power of Mikel Merino , the quality of Oyarzabal , the intensity of Portu and the duality at the top. William José to wear the centrals and Isak to finish off in the second parts with spaces. Remember Ajax from last season. And it is a pleasure for the neutral spectator.

Notable: the defense of Real Madrid

Madrid goes to the winter break with a new draw to zero and doubts about its offensive productivity. But he has already visited Barça, Atleti, Sevilla and Valencia and has not lost in any of the four outings. In the second round, you will receive all of them at the Bernabéu. The improvement of Courtois , the reliability shown in recent games by Carvajal , Varane or Mendy and the help of Valverde to the essential Casemiro have provided Zidane with greater stability. Twelve goals received, only one more than Atleti, and nine less than Barça. Contrary to the last years, now the doubts are located at the other end of the field.

Approved: Atlético de Madrid

In recent seasons, Atleti has managed to handle short results like nobody else. 1-0 and that little happens until the final whistle. But this year he had lost strength in both areas. He recovered at the decisive moment, the Champions clash against Lokomotiv. And he has kept it in the next two games against Osasuna and Betis. Two triumphs that have returned the moral and allow him to finish the year in Champions positions, the minimum required. In Seville, thanks to a Correa consolidating his status as a revulsive and a Morata determined to fail the easy ones but put the difficult ones.

Thriller: Espanyol

When a coach charges his players in public, it is usually a last resort to seek a reaction. To hurt his pride. Machín did it a few weeks ago, after losing to Osasuna. In his first games on the bench there was a slight progress in the game. But the truth is that Soriano coach has failed to improve the numbers of David Gallego and the blue and white team seems drifting, a team without a soul. In Butarque, before a direct rival, not even the problems to travel served as an attenuator. The winter market seems more than ever fundamental to achieve a turnaround and avoid the decline.
